Repairing versus replacing in Birstall
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we handle shower tray repair in Birstall
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Birstall
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Do you cover Birstall?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
